Won't fire what am I doing wrong?

Thanks David for talking me through this. The only connection problem I can find is the copper post on the cap that is supposed to touch the protruding circle on the atty is recessed from the threads on the cap. I assume that when I screw on the atty it cannot touch the copper because the atty cannot touch the copper. The protruding circle at the end of the atty just hits the threads on the cap. Is it supposed to be recessed?

did i send you out a 510 model rather then a 801 by mistake?(possible, given i do mix things up at times) The only ones with a recessed brass center post are the 510's. The 801's brass center post is flush with the top of the atomizer threads. Any chance you could post up a pic of the atty and the top of the adapter with the brass center post in view?

They're totally different threads though right..(for lack of a better term) 510 atty has a male connector on it and an 801 has a female connector right?..so the 510 adapter endcap is female and the 801 one is male correct?

my question would be is the brass center connector inside the end cap adapter in any way adjustable? is it possible to just tap the brass connector pin in the center of the adapter (end cap) from the inside to shimmy it back flush with the top of the adapter threads David?

I had to do that with some 510 to 901 adapters that I had...the center post had to be shifted one way or the other

David called and is talking me through it. May be a metal shaving. We will figure it out. Thanks David for the personal attention!

Just to update: First step was to clean the top of the cap with a toothbrush and take a needle (carefully) and run it around the edges to see if I can get any metal shavings out. That did not solve it yet. I am going to test the current because many of the 801 attys are not standard as the DSE. If I am getting current I will order some new attys.

He informed me that there is electricity coming to the adapter when the switch is depressed, so all he needed was the proper type of atomizer (he already ordered some).

May I suggest a sticky thread listing the attys and cartomizers that will and won't fit so people don't stress. Might make for less customer service emails too. I know David mentioned in another thread about the attys not all being standard but if we keep a running list people won't be suprized.

Thanks for helping me trouble shoot my S6!

Good idea. I had started a thread on it too, i think the contest bumped it off the front page. I'll have to revive it
